This is what I consider a beautiful sight...

I have started packing for the cruise! Although I feel like I'm jumping the gun because I still have a lot of laundry being done. But at least I started!I always seem to over pack, big time, so my goal this time is to not do that. Since Bethenny Frankel is my favorite I will abide by her packing light rules.

There are some good tips. I only hope I don't under pack. I would rather over pack than under. I wish I were leaving today. But in reality, today I still have to go to work (Which I should start getting ready for now actually) and then go and do a show, and be completely dead after! Tomorrow I get up and do one more show, get my nails done with my mommmmm and then my friend Mandi's wedding. As well as Lindsey's....I will be wedding hopping! So I assume it would be wise to pack today since tomorrow is full AND we leave Sunday morning! So excited you have no idea. It's enjoyable to break the emotional bond with technology for one week and not have to text, call, or email. Just look at a pretty ocean and have fun with family and friends!

Ok, work. Hur I come.

Oui.

Happy Birthday Mom!

I have the best mom. She's the prettiest person ever. So I thought I'd give her a birthday shout out and list fun memories and reasons she is the best.

{1.} She is completely selfless and always does things for other people before herself. It makes me feel guilty.

{2.} She's funny

{3.} Dress shopping for school dances and her helping me get ready is my best high school memory.

{4.} She'd buy me little presents shopping and leave them on my bed when I got home from school.

{5.} She introduced me to the wonderful cruise vacation. Now I'm addicted. Great job...

{6.} She has come to every performance I have ever had. Singing, drill, cheer, theater....and they are not always easy to sit through so props.

{7.} She's an impulsive shopper and has to get the little knick knacks at the checkout stand because they look kind of neat...so naturally I do too.

{8.} She taught me what T.J. Max is really about!

{9.} She's a puppy lover like me!

How could someone not be a dog lover....look that adorable face!

HAPPY 30TH MOM!....

Case of the Mondays

This is pretty much how my day feels. Usually I am not this pessimistic about Mondays...but today I am. It hurt my soul to turn the calendar page from July to August. Summer is over! I waved as it passed me by. I have lots to do the next two weeks and a one week vacation (Bless!) and then school and shows and jobs and craziness!

This week I have one more tech rehearsal, (The thought of only getting to run the show once more before we open is absolutely terrifying to me.) I have been having Joseph nightmares. Like not making changes, going out on stage and not knowing what any of the choreography is, forgetting to put a costume on, getting a finger or toe chopped off by the stage....the usual. Anyways, Joseph opening, work job 1, work job 2, Celebrate my mama's birthday a day early because my show opens on her actual birthday, shows all day Saturday. (I shall be at the theater 10ish AM-10ish PM.) Then sunday is pretty full too. Workout in the AM, church, my awesome cousin Shea's bridal shower and then my cutie little brother's Eagle Scout court of honor. Fewfs! Next week is most likely similar, I haven't gotten that far yet. Ok anyone who knows me and my Schedule/calendar OCD knows thats somewhat untrue. I sort of wrote it out last night in my day planner. It's fine.

After all that I finally get to go on my cruise! Big shout out to my awesome doubs, Ashley Mayfield, for covering that entire freaking week for me! So glad she's willing to do that! I might feel like I got some semblance of a summer in there after a vacation.

Alright I think I ranted everything out. Wow how boring am I today? Stress basket to a T. Soooo Ill switch gears to something happier for a good ending. Hmmm.

Work it out:

I have been so crazy I have been lazy with working out. I hate that! So I solemnly swear to go to the gym all the days I plan this week (...wearing this great outfit, naturally) even if I am dead tired. I also solemnly swear to not eat fat kid treats this week. A whole week! Sunday will be a cheat day.

To really get a happily ever after ending...I found these pictures yesterday. And I fell in love. I want one, and I want it to stay this big forever!

Whenever I get angry today I'm going to look at those pictures.
